    Bob Rowlands liked post by UKadventurer On thread : Anyone live in a Yurt in Colorado?
    I live in gers (aka 'yurts') in the mountains of Mongolia. The climate is similar to Colorado but probably even drier. Also much colder. Our rainy season is only in the summer but not especially wet,...

    Thanks for sharing, Bob. It must really hurt to have the tools of your trade ripped off. I try to keep my most valuable stuff in our shipping containers. Gers have really weak security so I was...

    We made good progress during a very long work day yesterday (Friday). 13 hours to be exact. I invited my long-time handyman, Paul (an Americanized Mongolian) to help out. He brought his adopted...

    Wow, yes. It’s a great project, potentially an incremental set of improvements. I’ve never created a home from nothing and it’s getting slowly better. It actually hasn’t been a terrible hardship to...

    That's great. I have seen it before of course but it's always worth seeing again. As you know, Chinggis Khan is his actual royal name. Temuujin his birth name. Very few boys get named Chinggis and...

    Thanks so much. That means a lot to me. I’m collecting video too. I’m hoping to make YouTube videos again, documenting our build out, but our upload speeds are terrible. Hopefully Starlink will help...

    Lots of new work has been going on in the last week or so. Some of it quite scary. The law in Mongolia states we must have septic tank(s) for toilets etc. I talked to my trusty handyman who I've...

    Great points. We use the containers as a garage, workshop and storage. The attraction of PU spray foam was that I didn’t think I needed to add a finished interior (dry wall). Since I was wrong about...

    The Mongolian traditional ger (aka yurt) uses all natural materials. I believe the inner and outer canvases are all cotton. In summer, they remove the felts, maybe down to no felt, or just one felt....
